Barcodes to Make Bigger Bucks
All consignors MUST use our online barcoding portal to enter and print tags on their own. Handwritten tags will NOT be accepted. Click here to enter items and create barcodes.
Benefits to Barcoding
- Save time over handwriting.
- Print an inventory sheet to track your items.
- Print a donation list for your tax return.
- Resell your unsold items in future sales, without reentering them into the system.
- After the sale, view which items sold prior to receiving your check.
- Review what remains unsold so you can either pick it up during specified consignor pick-up hours or leave it for the Stuff-a-Bag event and charitable donation.
- Estimate your earnings check.
Tagging Clothing Items
Remember, each consignor is limited to 100 pieces of hanging clothing. (You may purchase a second consignor slot or a second-day drop-off opportunity. Click here to learn more.)
- Be sure to follow all the requirements for tagging which include using white cardstock, 60-67# weight (NOT regular printer paper). Consignors who do not follow all tagging instructions will be charged $25.
- All clothes should be hung on wire or plastic hangers, with the hook facing left (see diagram). Pants can be attached to the hanger “shoulders” with safety pins (see diagram).
- Outfits on multiple hangers can be rubber banded together at the neck. This counts as ONE item.
- Included accessories can be placed in a Ziploc bag and attached to the hanger.
- Hats, gloves, socks etc., sell best when placed inside a Ziploc bag with the tag taped (along the top only of the index card) to the outside of the bag.
- Button all buttons, zipper all zippers, snap all snaps, etc.
- Attach tag to the left shoulder (if you were wearing the item) with a safety pin or plastic garment tagger.
Tagging Non-Clothing Items
- Hats, gloves, socks, etc.: Placed inside a Ziploc bag with the tag taped to the outside of the bag.
- Toys: Place a strip of tape across the top of the index card and affix to the item. Place small toys with many pieces inside a Ziploc bag with the index card taped to the front.
- Shoes: Remember, each consignor has a 15 pair limit. To avoid separation, place shoes inside a Ziploc bag and tape the index card to the outside of the bag. Or, you may tie the laces together and pin the tag through them.
- Books & Videos: Rubber band items together or placed in a Ziploc bag (preferred). This will prevent books from separating during the sale and prevent ripping when the tag is removed. You may alternatively use painters’ tape which will not rip the cover.
Tagging Expensive Items
WeeUsables is not responsible for lost or stolen items. However, we recommend making expensive items less likely to walk away. Please bring an empty milk or juice jug, and we will zip tie it to your item. This jug will only be removed at the checkout to help with security of your item.
Can I reuse my consignor number from the last sale?
Yes, consignors who participate in consecutive sales may keep the same consignor number. However, returning consignors must still register so we know you are coming!
Remember…
- All items must be priced in 50 cent increments.
- No items may be priced less than 50 cents.
- Do NOT include tax in your taxable item pricing.
